Well, what does excite you?

Keep in mind that excite can be almost any strong emotion, including things like anger, fear, or frustration, not just "it would be really cool if..."

Motivation can come from anything that gets your juices flowing, from "I can't believe they're actually charging money for this shit" to "dammit, why won't my gizmo talk to my gadget" or "oh no, $PROBLEM affecting $MY_COMMUNITY is terrible, what can I do", etc.
